Awesome. It has it's peaks and troughs like any show. Some friends have complained to me of certain slow runs where nothing of note happens for 3/4 episodes but there is always some big ominous disaster round the corner.

I think it helps if you're generally interested in the genre - day of the dead, evil dead, etc. But it's brilliant generally. As with most shows it has seasons that differ in quality - the 3rd (I think) I found particularly boring, but it's not afraid to dump key characters and it stays pretty true to the source material, which I always think is a good indicator.

Loads of British cast members too and some properly loveable and defining characters.

We watched the first series, thought it was okay, but we’ve had the second boxset on loan for about two years now (sorry, TC!) — we realised we were suffering from Zombie fatigue and didn’t actually care what happened to any of the characters, so never got round to watching it. It might have branched off in interesting directions, but I wasn’t terribly excited about the prospect of 800 more hours of people dodging or fighting zombies. I actually found it quite exhausting.

Its good.

Missed it first time round, now I'm about to start season 4 and loving it. Not previously a huge fan of zombie flicks (except for the funny ones, Shaun of the Dead and the one with Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray) but this prog grabbed me.

Some of the moral issues are disturbingly murky and they don't mind killing off characters unexpectedly.

I can never understand their stamina levels and how they stay active for so long.
We should employ their fitness coach.

I'm a big fan, the second series was a bit slow but it picked up again after that the new series has been brilliant so far, the other nights one was heart breaking.

Is the 2nd the one on the farm? I always get confused because the 1st series was in 2 parts...

OK - well then yeah, the 2nd series I thought was boring, the 1st and everything since I have really enjoyed. The journey some of those people have been on and how much they've changed because of it, there's great character development in there, some of it extreme.

I'm certain that one of the things the writers want to do is stomp on your hope every now and then.

And, like Breaking Bad, occasionally something happens that will appal you.

Ok, great stuff lads.

I'm going to give it a go. I've avoided it because I usually don't go for zombie stuff but this sounds promising.

Watched three episodes. Was pretty awful. Sacked it clean off.

I'm committed to it as I read the comics, but it is one of the most erratic shows, quality wise

Season 1 - Amazing pilot, gradual decline from there
Season 2 - AMC doubled the number episodes and halved the budget. As such it is absolutely dire
Season 3 - the most erratic. There are some stone cold 10/10 episodes, there's some proper stinkers. Butchers one of the comics' best storylines, dire ending.

Then Scott Gimple who wrote the best episodes of the 1st 3 seasons took over as show runner

Season 4 - First half is basically correcting the mess Gimple was left with, the second half is very good, with a great pay off

Season 5 - Totally mixed up the story telling techniques, increased focus on characterisation, and full of brilliant set pieces

Season 6 - only 3 epsiodes in, but the best it's ever been. So good so far

watched the first season and it was alright but apparently there's a sizeable drop in quality after that...the network decided to half the budget and double the episodes produced. Americans...

I wasn't a fan of Zombies at all before watching but became hooked on this very quickly and have enjoyed all five seasons thus, particularly the earlier stuff. Also has a brilliant bad guy in seasons 2 and 3.

What makes it not quite a top five show for me personally is that after six seasons now, there's only so much they can do. Kill zombies - find a home - home gets attacked - kill zombies - find new people to trust and so fourth. And of course there's some really slow episodes, I found series five particularly slow.

But overall it's worth a watch for sure, and not afraid to kill off a main character or two

We're the famous Queens Park Rangers, and we've got Roy Wegerle!

I reckon he's not dead. The other gimp who blew his own brains out fell on top of him and it was the gimps guts you see getting pulled apart. The apparently dead main character is hiding under the dumpster and will use a twig to dig his way to Alexandra.

I do like a happy ending!

He wasn't listed as one of the dead in the Talking Dead show so I reckon you are right

I've not watched any of those Talking Dead shows, but if they indicate that he's not dead, then that's good enough for me!

As an aside, I'd like one of these!

I like zombie stuff a lot but this show got tired pretty quick for me. Only so much running from zombies can my mind be stimulated by.
